The Stalker 4G VW Logger is a variant of the mA data logger. It is compact, low power & easy to deploy. It reads vibrating wire (VW) & temperature sensors & transmits results wirelessly over the Internet to the web portal for storage, processing and display. The same web portal is used to configure the logger.

The Stalker 4G VW Logger comprises digital a RIPPA IoT Logger and VWstalker. Each VWstalker can read 2 VW and 2 temperature sensors. Each RIPPA IoT Logger can power and control up to 2 VWstalkers using the SDI-12 protocol.

Before installation, the VWstalker is programmed and pre-wired to the RIPPA IoT Logger. Once on site, VW sensors are connected to the VWstalker. The user then logs on to the web portal to set up logging and reporting schedule.

The WASP-VW is ideal for new and retro-fit instrumentation projects where unattended collection of readings from VW sensors is required.


Product Features
